Bombadil plays with Paleface at the Garage in Winston

By Heather MacIntyre
Point being, not many people from the Greensboro side of the Triad have had a chance to check out the improved venue since its upgrade, bar and all. They’ve even started a membership for easier access into shows and updates on what’s going on. For example: Now they have trivia nights, open-mic events and multiple shows a week.

A downtown Greensboro adventure with the Hush Sounds

By Heather MacIntyre
Bob Morris, the band’s lead guitar and co-vocalist, staggers out from the bunk area of the bus and plops down with the rest of us in the front. His fiery red hair is sticking up in more directions than a TIGI-Bedhead hair model and his lips are barely awake and remain in a pouting stance.

Wilco fans delighted with band’s song list

By Heather MacIntyre
Some might say 7 p.m. is a little early for an evening weekend concert in the summer. The usual turnover for shows start around 9 or 10. Though I suppose we should declare a couple definitions for some of these terms. For a lot of live music enthusiasts, there lies a difference between a “show” and a “concert.” A show is held at a smaller venues with no more than 1,500 capacity (and that is pushing it) with very little security. Concerts are held at coliseums, amphitheatres or arenas, and hold thousands of attendees, employing almost a hundred or more workers for security, concession and every other need.

Bombadil shakes the Wake in Winston-Salem

by Kaleigh Oleynik

While some art invites imagination, Bombadil’s music isn’t so polite. Without waiting for an RSVP from the audience, members of the Durham-based band simply kidnap the attention of anyone who happens to be within hearing distance the moment they start to play.

Movie star, musician and beauty play Cat’s Cradle

We all know at least one. That person who is good at pretty much everything they try. And good at a level that makes them money, not just “entertaining your friends” good. Zooey Deschanel is best known for her roles in major motion pictures such as Almost Famous, Elf, The Happening.

Wolf Parade headlines at Lincoln Theatre

By Heather MacIntyre
Walking up to the Raleigh venue, kids of all ages were immediately approached before even making it to the waiting line by two or three others with questions. The first was a kid working for the Obama campaign, who wasn’t even old enough to vote himself, and if you gave him a moment, you’d quickly learn he was also too young to drive.

SHOW REVIEW: King Khan The Shrines at the 506

By Heather MacIntyre
My week started off with the hopes of going to a show at a venue that I had yet to write about. Upon checking schedules and talking to friends, I recognized a slightly familiar band name from the past: King Khan the Shrines (myspace.com/kingkhantheshines).

Carrboro sees mewithoutYou do it

By Heather MacIntyre
It was a difficult decision to make at first — to choose amongst all the shows going on this evening. The Chapel Hill scene seemed to be flooded with live music on Thursday night. The Cave, the Nightlight, Local 506… the list goes on, and most all of my friends were at the Russian Circles “experience” down the street.
